  1. Uhhh... what is it? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Insightful

    It looks like some kind of rusty dial off the Titanic... only it's measuring.. years... which maxes out at.... 30.

    Umm...

    What?

  2. 0-4 ? by TheRealDamion · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Why does it start at 0, get to 4 but mark it at 5? This also makes 15 not quite centred* at the top. (*I'm british)

  3. For their next contest... by bgfay · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Rename the GIMP so that people who aren't already devoted to it might have a clue as to what it does.

    There was another article a while ago about program names that made sense to me. If the Open Source programs had more recognizable names, they would have more traction. As it is, in my school, it is very difficult to get people to use things like the GIMP instead of Photoshop but much easier to convince them that OpenOffice is a good choice over MS Office.
